Looking on getting some new suspension toys.

Cusco Carbon Front Upper Strut Tower Bar

Cusco Rear Sway Bar 30mm

EVS Tuning Rear Bumpsteer Kit

T1R Anti-Bumpsteer Kit (front)

Does anyone know how beneficial this will be when I'm just an aggressive street driver?

1) The Cusco strut tower bar is going to be more for looks than performance. Nothing wrong with that, but just so you know.

2) Rear sway bar? That would increase your tendancy to oversteer. Is that what you want?

Spets hit the nail on the head. Strut bars do nothing for our cars except look good. And if your getting a rear sway bar, you gotta balance it out with a stiffer front one unless you wanna drift into a curb when you aggressivly drive on the street...

You also don't need any of those bump steer kits. They are useless to you at this point. I have almost every suspension mod, I have chassis bars that hold chassis bars... I don't need bump steer stuff and I track my car.

I say get some coilovers first and formost if you don't have any. Take your time and figure out a good setting, then get other suspension mods. If you must get something now, get front and rear sway bars.

Just because it is a suspension mod, does not mean it will change the handling for the better.

Let me know if you need more help.

I noticed a difference with my Spoon xbrace. Strut bar is pointless, buy an ebay one and powdercoat it for looks if u want one

I installed Spoon X-brace and replaced stock rear crossbrace with Spoon brace and noticed S to be stiffer. I also have Tein Flex coilovers with EDFC and lowered vehicle 3/4". Fun toys to play with.
